WITH just two weeks to go before Dancehall deejay Alkaline performs for the first time in Jamaica in almost three years, the organisers of Magnum New Rules are preparing themselves for what they are projecting will be a major event.
“This will be the biggest show in Jamaica. We have a great line-up, which includes Tarrus Riley, I-Octane, Mavado and Jahmiel,” said Sandra Malcolm of Brownstone Marketing and Entertainment Management.
Tamika West of the sponsors, Magnum Tonic Wine said that her product just had to be a part of the event.
“Magnum New Rules is the single most highly-anticipated moment in Dancehall,” West said, “and we couldn’t see the show happening without the drink of Dancehall, Magnum Tonic Wine.
“With a powerful line-up of international dancehall heavy-hitters like Shaggy and Mavado, this show is a major pull factor.”
Alkaline is also ready to perform for his local audience.
“It’s been a while since I’ve graced a stage in Jamaica, so I’m definitely looking forward to a great show, and performing for my fans who have been supporting me throughout. Bless up!” Alkaline said.
Alkaline, whose given name is Earlan Bartley, made headlines recently after being sought for questioning by detectives in relation to the murder of Rohan Morris. He was questioned and later released.
New Level Unlocked, his 15-track 2016 album, was executive-produced by DJ Frass, and is ranked by Billboard as the third best Reggae album of 2016. It features hits like Conquer the World, City and Champion Boy.
Magnum New Rules, first advertised in January, is being promoted for March 25 at the National Stadium car park.
